Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for September 11, 2010

Self-discipline.

Severe self discipline…

Where’s her wimple and veil? I thought a whack with a ruler was a nun thing.

Ooh, this one could get complicated….

I wonder what behavior Nancy is punishing. Has she been picking her nose? Making rude gestures at the news? Smacking her butt and saying “Yes, yes”?

With so many heroic canines on Cleo and Company, it almost makes me want to put myself in peril to see which one will rescue me. I said almost….

Nancy’s punishing herself for enjoying the penalties too much.

Well two, or three, or four superheros are better than one, right?

Not to worry; I’m pretty sure mild-mannered Bark Kent will join them…

If she really wants to penalize herself, she ought to go to bed without supper.

Too many super zeros spoil the rescue.

Actually I thought the four of them would sit down for a game of gin rummy, but I guess that is tooo yesterday……

Wow!

Another amazing animation… in the Sept 11th  2020 “CLEO and COMPANY” on Sherpa.

 

After the recent tour-de-force of “The Maltese Basset,” I wasn’t expecting one so soon!

This one is cool!

Well… cool for us, anyway… there’s a guy … er… there was…. one guy in the strip who might not agree.

But what’s one vote?

 

Meanwhile… we have a plethora… practically a panoply…. that is.. the largest part of the pantheon….

of Cleo and Co. Production’s basset superheroes.

Suave, confidant…. unflinching (so they claim) in the face of danger…

All SO ready to save you that they’ll fight for the privilege.

 

Which one should you trust…. if you’re hanging off that cliff-side tree?

Well, the success rate in this tale doesn’t look particularly good for any of them.

But perhaps individually… unencumbered by competition from the others?

 

Well… BatBasset has his Basset web, for scaling tall buildings.

Can he carry your weight, too…dunno.

Can he fly? NO.

 

Robin Hound can swing on a vine… even carrying another dog.

A human? Dunno.

Does he carry a vine? No.

Can he fly? NO.

 

The Lone Basset… has a gun.

Will that help? No.

Can he swing from a rope? Dunno…. but he could lasso you.

If he had a rope.

And again… no flight.

 

Perro… hmm…

Good at swordplay.

Can he fight your way off the cliff with a sword?

Um… no… and again… no power of flight.

 

Well… when I’m clinging to a tree on the side of a cliff….

I want the BEST basset for the job….

I want the only basset superhero who can FLY….

strong enough to carry me to safety….

 

That _would be … um… SuperBasset.

So where were YOU, SuperBasset?

Sigh….

@Stelbel & @Nighthawks Great job, but why’d it have to dangling from heights! I hate heights (particularly falling from them).

Was waiting for the “hang in there”.

Good Morning Ballardeers and 1st responders! Qdate: 182.98295.49 kewl and rainy.

Y’all take a minute to remember. (((((HUGS)))))

What a cool animation today! Love BatBasset’s entrance. Boy, he really knows how to steal the show. (Remind me to not get into any perilous situations when these guys are around.)

It looks like i’m going to be able to take my clients home today.

Good afternoon Balladeers, (((((Plods))))) and Miss Susan.

That guy should have gotten Beetle Bailey to get him off that branch. I’m surprised that all the super heroes didn’t want to go to the kibble restaurant to discuss who would rescue that guy. Still nothing on what other comics are going to be removed?

yeah, I kinda stole that concept from BB
